titek downpipe reliability??
I want to get a catted titek downpipe, but am not sure how well they are made.. are they reliable? anyone have fitting issues or exhaust leaks because of it? how long have u had ur titek dp?
also what is a CEL Fix Kit? they say it might be required? what is its purpose and do u need to buy it? thanks guys.

I've had my Titek catted dp on about 15k miles and never had a leak or any issue with it whatsoever. Seems to be pretty well made and reliable for the price. As for it fitting with a 2.5 in exhaust I'm not sure since I have mine hooked up to a 3 in exhaust.

You will have a leak if you try to mate a 3 inch DP to a 2.5 cat-back. Only one side will bolt up flush and you will have a leak on the other. Your exhaust will not sound nice either, as exhaust ambience will be expelled from the leak.
To make it easy on yourself, go get an APS Turboback system. You won't regret it.
ENJOY!

I bought my catted Titek DP used at 6k miles. The quality is really good (in terms of welds and flanges). At 6k miles, it still looked semi-new. No rust or discoloration at all. The install fitment was right on.
I've had it for about 8k since install now. When I get under the car and look at it, it still looks pretty good. No leaks that I know of. If you go with the catted DP, you really should consider going with Titek.
With that said...anyone tried to pass smog with UP, catted Titek DP, Stage 2?
